Lord of Mysteries: Yao Guang

This lunch took quite a long time because of the conversation between the two.

Esther happily showed Klein her new weapon, the "Logan's Claw" with a poisonous effect.

"Wait, what did you call it?"

"Logan's Claw!"

"If I'm not mistaken, it's because of the name of the golden X wolf, right?"

"Don't tell me when you see it," Esther replied with a smile, letting the claw knife dance in her hand. "It's really good to play like this. It's also convenient for cutting things temporarily. But if I can in the future After saving some money, I probably want to make some weapons."

"This is indeed quite suitable for the characteristics of your path. But haven't you considered firearms? I think they are more deadly than cold weapons." Klein patted the gun bag under his arm.

He has always felt that the advantages of firearms lie in distance advantage and speed. Whether it is long-range or close combat, it is easy to catch the opponent by surprise. If it is a handover of weapons in close combat, it is easy to leave more flaws.

After all, the abilities of extraordinary people are all kinds of strange, and there may be a place where they can restrain themselves. In that case, it would be too easy to defeat them in close combat.

Esther shrugged helplessly: "I mainly think that bullets are troublesome to acquire. If I can't find replenishment in ten and a half months, they can easily become a decoration. I don't know how to make psychic bullets myself..."

But when it came to this point, she came up with a new idea:

Maybe I could try putting a light spot in there? Then what effect will it have if it is shot out? Will it force the enemy's wound to cycle through the instantaneous pain? Or simply bring bad luck to the other party or disrupt the other party's destiny?

A strange thought flashed through Esther's mind, but it was too unfair to the children living in her hair, so she didn't intend to study it in depth.

Klein looked at her amusedly: "I always thought you preferred melee weapons, not only because you are used to that kind of fighting method, but also because you think you are more handsome."

Esther's face was indeed a little red, and she admitted it generously: "Of course this is also one aspect. Fashion can always make others shine when you appear on stage, so that you won't be recognized as a villain!"

Klein awkwardly pushed up his gold-rimmed glasses and straightened his face according to the character of "Gehrman": "Same."

"Don't worry, with me standing by your side, you don't look like a villain."

Esther looked at Klein for a moment and then added: "Probably?"

"Miss Hamel, you sound guilty."

Klein's eyes, which re-entered the acting state, were quite sharp, making Esther laugh twice.

After finishing the conversation, which was much longer than eating, the two agreed to meet at Rose Pier at 8:45 tomorrow morning. They reserved a meeting time a quarter of an hour in advance so as not to delay each other.

Although the "White Onyx" will be parked at the dock for a while, it is better to arrive early than late, so as not to miss the moment of boarding.

Just before they parted, Klein said this to Esther: "By the way, the taro dumplings are not as weird as I thought. Let's eat them together next time."

She felt a little bitter in her heart: "I'm sorry... If there is a chance next year, we will eat it together!"

"Of course," Klein nodded lightly, "I'm not complaining, because we can meet again, and this is the best outcome."

——

the next day.

The sun is shining through the clouds, Pulitzer Harbor is clearing up, and there should be good weather in the near future.

Esther woke up very early. As soon as she sat up, she subconsciously looked at the sofa in the hotel.

After noticing her habitual movements, Esther pressed her right eyebrow firmly, chuckled mockingly, and prepared to go out.

Soon, she left the hotel, packed two egg sandwiches with the vendor who came out early, and then asked for directions, heading all the way to Rose Pier.

Esther arrived five minutes earlier than the two agreed, so she leaned on a wooden post and ate her breakfast, while Klein showed up on time, exactly at forty-five minutes.

"Here you go, I bought two portions." Esther ate and handed the other portion to Klein.

"Thank you."

In order to maintain the character of "Gelman", Klein always responded briefly and coldly, which was quite different from Zhou Mingrui's own personality. This made Esther feel more interesting, and she was curious to see how far Klein could go in his role. .

But Klein suddenly realized that when he was playing "Gehrman Sparrow", the biggest stumbling block seemed to be his fellow countrymen. Her thoughtful eyes made him more and more embarrassed, and Klein had to spend more effort to integrate himself into the character of a sea adventurer.

But when Esther stood beside him, Klein could clearly feel the difference between "self" and "role", which made his digestion of the potion a little looser.

He seems to have touched the edge of the "faceless man" acting code.

Around nine o'clock, guests began to walk onto the pier one after another and headed towards the "White Agate" moored there.

The ship itself does not have a deep draft, and is slightly smaller in size than the "Blue Ou" loaded with cargo, but compared to ordinary people, it is still a behemoth that needs to be looked up at.

Esther did not hide the excitement on her face, curiously looking at this product between the old navigation age and the new steam age:

The vertical chimney puffed out a small amount of mist, and the sails were gathered on the side-by-side masts. The dark muzzles of the twelve cannons on both sides of the ship were exposed, demonstrating the remarkable combat power of the ship itself. This configuration is indispensable when traveling on the road.

Strong and capable sailors and crew members stood on both sides of the gangway. Many of them had guns or sabers hanging on their waists, allowing the passengers to see clearly and making them more assured of personal safety.

After all, the next voyage will last for nine days, and some guests who board the ship for the first time will always be full of worries.

And some people are just looking forward to it.

Esther withdrew her gaze from the distant scenery. The sea was photographed on the vast skyline. She would never get tired of watching the ups and downs of light and waves.

"Come on, let's board the ship!"

"Um."

Klein followed Esther onto the hanging ladder and took a look into the distance.

The blue water is always rushing tirelessly, inviting all brave people to participate in its event.

——

As soon as the two stepped onto the deck, a man wearing a half-top black top hat and a long windbreaker came over. Although he looked about thirty years old, his light blue eyes were serious and deep. He had not experienced anything. It may be difficult for people who are involved in many things to maintain such an attitude.

Klein smiled and said casually: "Good morning, we meet again."

Esther then remembered that she seemed to have seen such a gentleman when she was buying tickets yesterday, but she didn't pay much attention to him.

This man with rough eyebrows kept a distance of more than one meter before he stopped and nodded lightly: "Cleves, a former adventurer. Man, are you a fellow traveler?"

When he said this, he glanced at Esther beside him.

"I thought you knew it yesterday, Gehrman Sparrow."

Contrary to Klein's indifference, Esther blinked and extended her right hand to the former adventurer: "Hamel Brook, sea musician ~ Of course, this is just my small goal."

Clevis twitched the corner of his mouth, but he shook hands with Esther and quickly let go: "It's good, at least being an adventurer is not a very good profession."

Then he looked at Klein again, and it was obvious that he had already observed the temperament he deliberately created. This was also the original purpose of Clevis coming to communicate with the two of them: "I have changed careers to become a bodyguard, and this time I am following my employer's family. To the capital of the Rhoad Islands.”

He pointed across the nail plate.

Esther and Klein looked together and could see an elegantly dressed couple, their children, one old and one young, three servants dressed up and carrying various things, and two others protecting them. Their bodyguards.

"Three servants, three bodyguards?"

"right."

After answering Klein's casual question, Clevis quickly turned around and went back to perform his duties as a bodyguard.

Esther rolled her eyes: "He doesn't think you are mean, so he came here to say hello. He hopes you won't cause trouble, right?"

Klein nodded and chuckled rather unruly: "That should be the case. I think so too."

Because they bought the tickets together, Esther and Klein's cabins were adjacent, just next door.

Esther walked into the room and looked around. Compared with the room she lived in before in the "Blue Gull", this room had more tables and cabinets fixed on the ground. However, there were also no chairs. If she wanted to use the table, she could only Sitting on the bed.

The bedding on the bed is also softer and drier, with only a touch of moisture.

But the best thing about this room is that there are windows. Esther couldn't wait to put her face closer to it. Her eyes were blurred by the bright sunlight, so she quickly distanced herself again.

The washrooms and showers are shared. Because there is a central boiler, hot water can be provided on the ship. Otherwise, long-term voyages will be more torturous for passengers who like cleanliness.

The whistle sounded, and the ship was ready to sail to the blue sea. Esther nestled by the window, watching the foaming waves coming and going, and couldn't help but hum a light tune softly. s song. *

In the next room, Klein, who was also looking at the sea view and summarizing the performance in his mind, was suddenly touched by his spiritual intuition. He blinked in confusion and noticed that the acuity of his spirituality and five senses had suddenly increased slightly.

He could vaguely hear Esther's soft singing without even needing to listen carefully. The sound was more like it was directly close to his perception rather than being transmitted through the wall.

Klein has a hunch that if he performs divination at this time, the accuracy will be greatly improved.

She really just forced herself out of an auxiliary route, bard? But this is probably also because of the special connection between "Zoya" and Gray Mist, which is really surprising.

Klein chuckled and continued to think about his plan to play the "faceless man".
